My Project

This beautiful, comfy, classroom rug will be the center of all of our large group activities. The large group area is the main learning area for our students. On this rug, we will enjoy learning how to build positive relationships and learn how to cope in different social and emotional situations in a relaxing, home-like setting. There are enough spots for each student to have his or her very own seating area!

This classroom rug can also be used for many large group games and gross motor activities on rainy days.

The addition of this rug will truly enhance our area and create more learning opportunities for our VPK students. The students will be so thrilled to upgrade from their previous velcro dot spots to this home-like, cozy rug!
